I have developed an application in Asp.Net with jquery/Ajax. for database communication and complex logic, i have WCF Service. I have added the service as Service Reference in Web Application. When i made this project live, i stuck with a strange problem.

Most of time website is running smoothly. and sometime, it throws this below error and website gets down.

"There was no endpoint listening at http://www.example.com/All.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Server stack trace: at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpOutput.WebRequestHttpOutput.GetOutputStream() at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpOutput.Send(TimeSpan timeout) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelRequest.SendRequest(Message message, TimeSpan timeout) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.RequestChannel.Request(Message message, TimeSpan timeout) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel.Call(String action, Boolean oneway, ProxyOperationRuntime operation, Object[] ins, Object[] outs, TimeSpan timeout) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannelProxy.InvokeService(IMethodCallMessage methodCall, ProxyOperationRuntime operation) at System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannelProxy.Invoke(IMessage message) Exception rethrown at [0]: at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessage(IMessage reqMsg, IMessage retMsg) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(MessageData& msgData, Int32 type) at ServiceReference2.IAll.GetBasicInformation(Stream strmdata) at SiteSetting.SetSiteBasicSetting()

if you need anything regarding this issue, raise you need.
Please help me asap. any help will be appreciated.


------------Just from Client code to consume service-----------------------------------

XDocument miXML = new XDocument(
         new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
         new XElement("GetHomeDetails",
         new XElement("GetHomeDetails",
         new XElement("ClientId", SiteConstant.GetClientID),
         new XElement("IPAddress", SiteConstant.IPAddress),
         new XElement("SessionKey", SiteConstant.GetSessionID),
         new XElement("APIKey", SiteConstant.APIKey),
         new XElement("APIPassword", SiteConstant.APIPassword)
        ))

      );

        byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(miXML.ToString());
        ServiceEndUsers.EndUsersClient objService = new ServiceEndUsers.EndUsersClient();

       XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
        xDoc = objService.GetHomeDetails(bytes);

The above bold line throwing error.

--------------In Service code Service contract/Operation contract is as below-----------------

[OperationContract(Name = "GetHomeDetails")]
Stream GetHomeDetails(Stream strmdata);

I would like remind once again, my website usually running well. only some time, it is throwing error. it seems totally strange to me.

thank you.

I have little experience on WCF configuration. Does it matter if have multiple endpoints like:

<system.servicemodel>
    <bindings>
      <basichttpbinding>
 
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_INews" maxreceivedmessagesize="214748364" />
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IPurchase" maxreceivedmessagesize="214748364" />
 
      </basichttpbinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://www.example.com/News.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingconfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_INews" contract="ServiceNews.INews" name="BasicHttpBinding_INews" />
      <endpoint address="http://www.example.com//Purchase.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingconfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IPurchase" contract="ServicePurchase.IPurchase" name="BasicHttpBinding_IPurchase" />
    </client>
    <behaviors>
      <servicebehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <servicemetadata httpgetenabled="true" />
          <servicedebug includeexceptiondetailinfaults="false" />
